Adams is an emerging star by all accounts. Hes easily one of the best big men in the game. If he was a free agent he'd get a max deal. Ezeli is getting projections of 3/$50. Howard is getting projections of 5/$140-$150. Adams is gonna get his money, believe me.

Kanter on the other hand is on an unmovable deal. His defense did improve this year but against a team like the warriors it's not passable.

Unless adams back injury flares up i don't think we will see much Kanter going forward. There's nowhere to hide him in this series. Thunder had a few off days to review the tape.

Durant has to be losing his mind between Kanter and waiters. I say throw morrow out there.

You've literally said 2 things in this single post that are beyond dumb comments.

Kanter and Waiters have been amazing this postseason. Durant has been underwhelming. You've apparently not watched at all because that's what this post tells me.

You seem to want to just start trouble.

I'll grant you waiters played well game 1. Game 2 he did not.

The warriors used the Tony allen treatment on Roberson and it worked...

I'd try morrow. I know he hasn't shot well this year but it makes the warriors defend honestly.

Bogut can barely move out there he's hurt. Ezeli is a foul machine who can't go heavy minutes. You basically force them to play their small lineup a lot and okc is the one big lineup i like against gsw smallball.

Adams, ibaka, durant, morrow, westbrook has enough quickness and size to handle them going small.


I think game 2 was a fatigue game for okc, I expect them to bounce back and look great in g3+4

If anything, the roleplayers have carried KD this postseason.

I don't know what to do w/ Robes just yet. Talking about the same thing in the series thread.

Quit sticking him in the corner and use him for off ball screens and dives to the rim. It would require a complete offensive overhaul in the middle of the conference finals though...

Yeah, just moving would help a bit.

Adams is on his way to becoming the third star.
Solid defense, much improved offense. Let's see what he does next year.

I think Serge still has to be in the conversation here.
